Eric Andre’s official website gives you a good idea of what he finds funny. The homepage shows a giant picture of Eric’s head, surrounded by demons and gods and convention attendees and churchgoers. Instead of an arrow, you drag over the screen with a hand, which can be used to slap the deity of your choosing. Screams and cries of terrors ensue. It’s amazing, though not as great as “Alien vs Predator vs Brown vs The Board of Education.”

A v. P is just one of many fake band names Andre, who you might recognize as barista Mark from ABC’s recently canceled Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 or from his titular Adult Swim talk show, has come up with, all of which can be seen at the newly launched Eric’s Band Names. A brief excerpt:

All of the live action shows on Adult Swim are shit. The show’s been going downhill ever since the ATHF bomb scare caused the executive shakeup. The new guy said “Hey, I’ve got a brilliant idea: let’s get rid of a bunch of cartoons and replace them with stupid live action shows that you can’t find funny unless you’re baked off your ass.”

Eric Andre, Tim Heideker, and Eric Wareheim are all funny people, but I didn’t particularly like their Adult Swim shows. Children’s Hospital, Darkplace, and NSTF:SD:SUV are fantastic though, so no writing off “all live action Adult Swim shows” please.

And to say Adult Swim has been in rapid decline since 2006 is just silly. I don’t watch it as much as in the past, but every new episode I’ve caught of ATHF and Metalocalypse have been great.

As much as I enjoy Eric Andre, he certainly isn’t the first person to put together fake band names. I love them, but can he claim ownership? Does he have a judge in his back pocket? Is this why Kevin above is forced to watch his show on Adult Swim!? Bribes…makes me sick.
